Abstract: 1,203,259. Cigarette packaging machines; endless conveyers. ARENCO A.B. 1 Nov., 1967 [11 Nov., 1966], No. 49568/67. Headings B8A and B8C. A cigarette packaging machine includes holders 14 for cigarette batches moving continuously, in an endless path, hollow mandrels31, about which a packet 32 is formed, moving in a second path coinciding with part of that of the holders, and further holders 47 moving along a third path coinciding in part with the second path into which packets and contained batches of cigaretts are thrust by rams moving through the mandrels. Cigarette batches are fed from stationary magazines 17 into the holders 14, the means for achieving this being as described in Specification 1,200,198. The holders are mounted on a continuously moving conveyer 12 which aligns them with the series of hollow mandrels 31 on a rotating turret. Each mandrel has a packet and wrapper 32 folded successively upon it by means 34, 35, 38, 39 (not detailed) before a holder is aligned with it. The turret carries an axiallyreciprocable ram aligned with each mandrel and the rams successively advance to form a temporary bottom closure for the respective mandrel during packet formation. They then withdraw beyond the path of the holders 14 and again advance to sweep the batches into and through the mandrels. The batches carry the packets with them into the holders 47 the latter being carried on a conveyer 48 past end closure means (not detailed).

Abstract: 1,038,309. Windscreen wipers. ROBERT BOSCH G.m.b.H. Dec. 10, 1964 [Dec. 13, 1963], No. 50228/64. Heading A4F. A windscreen wiper comprises a wiper arm 10 which has a projection 27 and is received in the oblong channel 14 of a holder having a hole 26 to receive the projection, the holder having a slot leading to the hole and being arranged such that during the fitting of the wiper arm into the channel, the projection temporarily and resiliently expands the slot before passing into the hole. The wiper has a rubber blade 1 reinforced by inserts and engaged by claw straps 2, 3 connected to a supporting strip 4 which is of U-shaped cross-section and is formed with an opening 5. A pin 6 extends between the walls of the strip 4 and is engaged by a stirrup-shaped spring clip 7. The arms of the strip are of unequal length and embrace the pin by more than 180 degrees. The clip 7 is disposed within the holder 11 which is generally of U- shape, one arm being provided with an aperture 15 for receiving a lug 9 projecting from the longer arm of the clip 7 and engaging an edge 16 of the aperture. The holder is formed with side flanges 17, 18 which, on the other arm of the holder, are bent over to form cover portions 22, 23 for the oblong channel 14. The edges of the portions 22, 23 are formed with recesses, which together comprise the hole 26, and form the slot 28 which is wider at the end into which the wiper arm is inserted. During insertion of the wiper arm into the channel 14, the projection 27 resiliently expands the slot 28 until it engages the hole 26, shoulders 31, 32 adjacent the hole resiliently gripping the projection. The holder is made by a stamping and bending operation and the width of the slot 28 near the hole is produced to size by a pressing operation effected by discs acting against the edges of holes 29, 30 formed during stamping and a gauge in the slot.

Abstract: 1,223,830. Valves. SYBRON CORP. 13 Oct., 1969, No. 50269/69. Heading F2V. A valve for a ephygmamanometer apparatus, comprises a cylindrical portion 18 having an axially extending passage therethrough, a port 21 connecting the passage with a converging channel 22 on the outer surface, and a sleeve 30 rotatably mounted on the portion 18 having a blocking surface 32 adapted in at least one position of the sleeve to seal the port 21 and channel 22. The valve has nipples 14 and 16 at the ends for connection to a squeeze bulb and the apparatus, respectively, and a check valve is housed within a portion 12. A collar 40 is secured by a screw 42 on to the portion 18, and has stops 46, 46<SP>1</SP> to limit the rotation of the sleeve 30. A backing portion 34 in the sleeve 30 forms the surface 32 into engagement with the portion 18. In operation, air pressure is pumped through the axial passageway, with the port 21 and channel 22 closed, and, after the maximum blood pressure reading has been taken, the sleeve is adjusted to allow the air to leak from the apparatus. Rotation of the sleeve 30 causes the edges of the surface 32 to clean the surface of the portion 18.

Abstract: 1,157,771. Stationary-disc record players. E. DORING. 6 Nov., 1967 [12 May, 1967], No. 50339/67. Heading G5R. A sound transducer instrument includes a transducer head, a pivot which in use is supported at the centre of a stationary sound record (in the form of a plate or sheet), and a friction drive wheel arranged to cause the head to rotate about the pivot. A transducer head 3, for recording and/or reproducing, is driven around a pivot 2 above a stationary record 10 by a friction drive wheel 4, and is further supported by a supporting wheel 5. The speed of rotation may be varied by moving the drive wheel 4 along its spindle 12 by means of a button 14 and observing the displacement on a scale 13. The head 3 is lowered into position by a knob 19 so that it may be guided by engagement of a guide 9 with a track on the record. The radial position of the head can be read off on a scale by pointer 15. The parts are contained in a housing 6 which also incorporates a driving motor and a loud-speaker 7, and a switch 8 for switching these on. The head 3 and wheels 4, 5 may be connected to the pivot 2 by a link. Visual aids or illustrations may be provided at the side of the record 10.

Abstract: 1527000 Foldable agricultural tool bars INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO 8 Dec 1976 [12 April 1976] 51189/76 Heading A1B To assist turning of the implement, the folding wing sections 14, 16 may be raised slightly (Fig. 3) about pivots 18 on the main tool bar section 12 by means of hydraulic rams 60 each having a free piston 78 movable as far as a shoulder 70 by fluid supplied at 86 and engageable with the end of a piston rod 64 which is linked to crank arms 100 projecting from the wing 14 or 16. The piston rod 64 carries a further piston 82, and is pivoted at 108 to draw links 104 pivoted at 106 to the crank arms 100. When the piston rod 64 is extended the draw links 104 apply an upward force on a lift pin 112 secured to the crank arms 100, as well as pulling the crank arms 100 out of the main section 12. A suspension link 114 is pivoted at 108 to the draw links 104, and one end of its slot 116 defines the limit of upward movement of the lift pin 112 corresponding to the Fig. 2 position. The wheels 200 are raised or lowered by operation of hydraulic rams 204, and folding track markers 122 by rams 134. When the wing sections 14, 16 are raised slightly by operation of valve CV2 (Fig. 7), the wheels 200 are lowered. The wing sections 14, 16 are fully raised and lowered by operation of valve CV1. The track markers 122 are raised by solenoid valve MV. In Fig. 1, cables 136 ensure extension of the outer arms 126 when the wing sections 14, 16 are lowered.

Abstract: 1,096,330. Hydraulic braking systems. H. TEVES, E. A. TEVES, and M. TAUSEND, [trading as ALFRED TEVES MASCHINENUND ARMATURENFABRIK KOMM. GES.]. Dec. 9, 1965 [March 27, 1965], No. 52295/65. Heading F2F. In an hydraulic braking system for a road vehicle, e.g. of the type comprising a master cylinder 3, different types of brakes, e.g. disc brakes 1, 1<SP>1</SP> and drum brakes 2, 2<SP>1</SP>, are associated with the front and rear axles respectively and are fed via separate lines 6 and 4, of which the former includes a double-acting check valve 7 adapted to prevent fluid from flowing to the front axle brakes until pressure exceeds that necessary to initiate application of the rear axle brakes, the latter requiring a higher pressure to initiate application on account of the strong return springs associated with drum brakes. The valve 7 is of known type comprising an annular seal 12 which is urged by a spring 14 acting on an element 13 to engage a seat 15, a passage 18 through the seal 12 and element 13 being closed by a ball 16 acted on by a light spring 20 via a piston 10 which has a by-pass groove 11 in its periphery. Flow of fluid to the disc brakes is thus prevented until spring 14 is overcome, while return flow is substantially unimpeded, the ball merely retaining a slight residual pressure to guard against air entering the system. A residual pressure valve 5 is also included in the line 4 to the rear brakes and acts to retain a somewhat higher pressure in this line which is nevertheless below the minimum pressure required to apply the rear brakes.
